Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Operate in a Fiscally-Responsible and Business-Like Manner.
Provide for the Safety, Health and Social Service Needs of County Residents.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The cost of LiveScan equipment maintenance services in the amount of $219,285 is funded by the local California Identification System (CAL-ID) fund, which is maintained by revenues from Court fines, Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) fees, and per capita assessments paid by member agencies. Sufficient appropriation is included in the Sheriff/Coroner/Public Administrator’s (Department) 2023-24 recommended budget for the local CAL-ID Automated Fingerprint Identification fund (4430002392).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In 1985, the California Department of Justice created a statewide fingerprint identification network known as CAL-ID, divided into eight regions, each using the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) to allow access to the State’s fingerprint database and to provide fingerprint identification services to law enforcement agencies within each of those regions. In the same year, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties joined to form and operate one of those regions which is governed, along with member cities, through the Remote Access Network (RAN) Board pursuant to Penal Code Section 11112.4.
The San Bernardino local CAL-ID AFIS is used to organize, store, analyze, and transmit fingerprint data to and from servers within other CAL-ID network participating agencies. The Department utilizes Idemia Identity & Security, USA LLC’s (Idemia) LiveScan Fingerprinting Systems (LiveScan) to provide secure capture and transmission of electronic fingerprints for verification purposes to CAL-ID AFIS.
Approval of this Item will establish an agreement with Idemia to provide LiveScan equipment maintenance services for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
PROCUREMENT
Idemia, as the developer and manufacturer of the LiveScan systems which the department currently operates, holds hardware equipment designs and software customization copyrights, including proprietary rights for maintenance and software updates. The Purchasing Department concurs with the non-competitive procurement of these services as Idemia has the proprietary right to maintain the LiveScan system.
Due to annual maintenance costs exceeding $200,000, this item requires Board of Supervisors approval per County Policy 11-04.
